Serial Numbers (Logical)
Use this screen to assign serial numbers (logical) to server blades within the domain.
By configuring Virtual Connect to assign serial numbers (logical), a server blade can present a single
serial number to licensing software. This method avoids the need to re-install serial number sensitive
software after a recovery. Configuring Virtual Connect to assign serial numbers (logical) requires planning
to be sure that the configured range of serial numbers are used only once within your environment.
CAUTION:
The use of Serial Number (Logical) Settings might prevent the proper operation of
software designed to track servers by serial number or UUID. Do not enable this feature until
you consider and understand the impact to the entire software environment in which the servers
operate. This impact includes, but is not limited to, warranty service, asset tracking, server
deployment, and software licensing.
